After the customers tasted the garlic and five-spice crayfish.

I was amazed by the taste.

"This is the first time I've ever had crayfish with this flavor!"

"It tastes so good. As expected, a chef from the capital city is different. The level of skill is really high."

"I feel that the chefs at Mingyue Restaurant are not as good as those here; their cooking skills are far inferior."

"It seems like they have other signature dishes here. This is the first time I've seen roasted pork knuckle, and it tastes really good."

"I've been to the best restaurants in Dayuan City before, but I've never had such delicious roasted pork knuckle. I wonder who this chef learned his skills from? Could he be a retired imperial chef from the palace?"

"Is that right? Even if they've left the palace to retire, they should still stay in Dayuan City. We're quite a distance from Dayuan City. Won't they find it difficult to adjust to retiring here? Don't many elderly people believe in returning to their roots?"

Ye Qianqian was in a private room on the second floor, listening to the discussions downstairs.

Her current magical abilities are so advanced that she can hear things through walls.

Ye Qianqian took a sip of tea.

You guys were right.

This chef is indeed a royal chef from the palace.

It's just that he didn't retire.

Instead, he is one of the master chefs.

Since we're here to open a restaurant.

They then came up with some new tricks to attract customers.

The food served in the palace is not something that ordinary people can afford.

The imperial chef brought his skills to the common people.

It also helps increase the restaurant's popularity and business.

"Oh dear, with the opening of Qinmian Restaurant, I don't think Mingyue Restaurant will have any business left!"

"The lack of business is Wang Dasheng's own fault!"

"Who told him to be so dishonest in business? That customer who made a scene at the yamen that day is a very picky eater in Xinyan City. If the taste is just average, he will at most say that it is not cooked well. Only when the ingredients are really wrong will he make such a fuss."

"I thought there was some trick to this buy-one-get-one-free deal. Maybe the crayfish would be small or the portion would be tiny. But look, the crayfish here are actually much bigger and more plentiful than those at Mingyue Restaurant!"

"Look at how honest they are in doing business! I have to come and support them all the time!"

"Life is getting better and better. The problems with the crops have been solved, and we don't have to worry about the harvest anymore. We also have money in our pockets to come to the restaurant often!"

Ye Qianqian sipped her tea with great satisfaction.

It seems the locals really enjoy their current lifestyle.

Then, the Emperor's prestige will continue to be high.

His throne will surely be secure.

No one will object if my second brother becomes the heir to the throne.

In short, I must help my second brother build Xinyan City into a place that earns the trust of his ministers.

...

The guy the guy had his eye on.

It was Wang Dasheng from Mingyue Restaurant who sent them.

Wang Dasheng soon learned about the situation at Qinmian Restaurant.

Wang Dasheng was furious.

"Who is this kid? How did he manage to hire such a good chef?"

"I haven't found out about that yet, but the food he makes is really delicious. I've tried every dish in the restaurant, whether it's crayfish or any other dish. Even the same tomato and egg stir-fry tastes better than what we have at our restaurant!"

"waste!"

Wang Dasheng slammed his hand on the table.

"I told you to keep an eye on things, but all you did was think about was eating!"

"No, we can't let Qinmian Restaurant's business surpass mine!"

"We must find a way to disrupt his business!"

The waiter immediately asked.

"Shopkeeper, do you have any ideas?"

Wang Dasheng sneered.

"It's just garlic crayfish, what's so special about it!"

"Go and buy some crayfish in different flavors, and let the chef try them!"

"Let's see if he can recreate that flavor."

"yes!"

And all of this.

They were all being watched by the people Ye Mian had sent out.

Ye Qianqian found out.

Not surprised at all.

"This is something he's capable of doing."

"However, this formula is in my hands!"

"Even if Wang Dasheng buys the crayfish, he still can't make it taste the same!"

"I want to see if the chefs at Mingyue Restaurant really have such amazing skills!"

After tasting the food, the head chef of Mingyue Restaurant...

Wang Dasheng asked him.

"How about it? Can you make it taste like this?"

"I'll give it a try."

The chef quickly used the crayfish from the restaurant to make these two flavors.

But after it was made...

He tried it himself.

He shook his head.

"No, although it has a garlic flavor, it's not the right taste."

"This five-spice flavor isn't right either; it's not as good as the one from Qinmian Restaurant."

The chef spent the whole day preparing.

Nothing much was accomplished.

In the end, he could only helplessly say this to Wang Dasheng.

"I am too foolish to make the same taste as Qinmian Restaurant."

Wang Dasheng was so angry that he started cursing.

"What am I paying you to do?! You can't even make something this simple?! You'd better pack your things and get out of here!"

The chef was also unwilling to accept it.

He spent his days at the restaurant.

Even if they didn't achieve great things, they still put in a lot of hard work.

There was also the matter of helping him conceal the problematic ingredients.

If he hadn't eaten that problematic pork knuckle last time, things would have been different in the government office.
